That's true, I don't know to what extent people who like to bet, but many are capable of betting on anything, I think that apart from being fun it becomes a necessity, and people who are like that see it as a lifestyle, something that can be totally understandable, if you have fun with it, who are we to ban it? I don't remember which Will Smith movie that he did with Margot Robbie that was about gambling and they made some unthinkable bets, but they showed that the gamblers there were totally happy when they did it, so betting on the Oscars is normal, at least with the best movie you can make a good bet.
Of course, if a user likes to place bets on anything and gets pleasure from this kind of gambling entertainment, then there is nothing wrong with it. Although I'm more than sure that there are some users who do it only because of attractive odds in one or another event, not for fun. Personally, I would prefer not to place bets on events or sports in which I am not well versed.
You are right,personally I would like to place bets with Basket, baseball and hat in American football, but the truth is that I do not know or know very well the rules to do so, so if I feel safe it is placing bets on football because It is my favorite sport and besides I know a lot, I like the local European soccer leagues, of course not only this but leagues like the Brasileirao and the Argentine League, now as CR7 I joined the Saudi league because I also follow that league, the gutos They help a lot when it comes to making sports bets.
